| Nahariya’s main thoroughfare,
Sderot HaGa’aton, crosses the city from east to west. Flowing
through the center of the boulevard is the Ga’aton River and during
the rainy winter one may observe its waters rushing towards the sea.
Along the length of this lively street are dozens of coffee houses,
restaurants and shops. |
Lined up on the street during the
summer and holiday seasons are beautiful horse-drawn carriages which
have become the Nahariya’s symbol. Their pleasant drivers will
be happy to take you on a tour of the city and the coast. Another
feature of the city is its tourist train which runs during summer
months. |

Naharia has beautiful, long beaches
with a wonderful adjoining promenade lined with restaurants and coffee
houses. An open bathing beach runs along the promenade, and nearby
are lawns and playground equipment for children. The promenade
extends southward till the edge of Acre ( Akko ) , and is good for
walks, bicycling and early morning runners!
